The Face of Opportunity Contest

StartupNation has partnered with British Airways to offer a round-trip complimentary flight to London or beyond to up to 45 of StartupNation’s brightest members.  (i.e. Every seat on 3 entire planes will be given away, flying from NY, CHI, LA)  You will be joined by StartupNation’s own Rich Sloan as a facilitator and networking agent throughout the experience. It is truly an extraordinary opportunity made available during these extraordinary times. Plus, will have access to a forum of business leaders & peers before taking off to your own meetings – wherever they may be. Leverage the opportunities that could change the future of your business. 

The prize?

First, a send off event with other winners before your flight to London from New York, Chicago or Los Angeles. Then, in London, networking opportunities and insights on growing your business internationally from top business leaders and government officials. Finally, continue on your own path, to wherever British Airways flies, to have the meetings you need to move your business forward.

The return date is open.  Tell us what opportunities you would take advantage of – whether they are meetings with potential investors, visits to distributors, or introductions to new clients. You’ll have the time to organize your own meetings for your business in London or beyond before returning to the US.
